I sort of hate starting things off with a cliché, but what they say is true – a picture really is worth a thousand words. That’s precisely why typography shirts are so popular – they’ve got both. Whether simple or complex, funny or thought-provoking, or quirky or beautiful; a well-made shirt with the right font and design is one that’s pretty much guaranteed to turn heads.

With that in mind, it’s not all that surprising that so many fantastic artists and creators have tried their hands at typography, putting their own unique spin on the craft. Nor is it shocking to see that they’ve come up with so many awesome results. Because, see, plain-text…that’s boring.

And that isn’t to say there aren’t bad designers out there, too – there are plenty of those. Anyone can slap a few words on a shirt and call it a day. It takes a real artist to make those words actually speak to everyone.

It’s those artists that we’re devoting this piece to. We’ve searched far and wide across the web to compile a few of our favourite typography designs. Okay, maybe it’s more than a few -it’s closer to three hundred.

There are so many great shirts to choose from, how could we have settled for a short list of ten or fifteen? Plus, this way, we pretty much guarantee that there’s something for everyone right?

Anyway, I think that’s more than enough rambling. Let’s take a look at the designs we’ve tracked down (in no particular order). Maybe one of these shirts will give you the perfect inspiration for your own design. (Make your own in our design studio.)
